Steps:
- Put it all filling ingredients in a skillet
- heat it till the cream cheese melts,
- fill the corn tortillas (you can use flour shells, but they tend to get a bit mushy.)
- If you want to stretch the recipe, add cooked rice to the chicken, and if you do, then use 2 pkg of cream cheese and 2 cans of chilies.
- Cilantro Pesto sauce.
- Puree the first three ingredients (it easiest in the food processor)
- slowly drizzle in oil with (if u pour it all in, it separates).
- In a bowl, mix cilantro pesto with broth and cream.
- pour sauce over enchiladas, I usually just pour it down the center of each row of shells -- if you put too much on, it becomes a bit soggy --
- add more when serving.
- Recipe makes more pesto sauce than what you will need so you can either use it for dressing or something else or freeze the extra.
- Top with grated parm cheese and bake for 30 minute at 350.

Steps:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper. Place the chicken in the hot pan and cook until golden brown and just cooked through, about 3 minutes per side.
- Meanwhile, place the pine nuts in a small dry skillet and set over medium heat. Toast the nuts until golden brown, about 3 minutes, shaking the pan frequently to prevent burning. Transfer the pine nuts to a blender or food processor and add cilantro, sour cream, the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, the garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Process until smooth, adding water, as necessary, to create a thick paste. Serve the chicken with the pesto spooned over the top.

SPICY CHICKEN ENCHILADAS VERDE
This is a recipe that was in USA weekend, Jan26-28th. That's the magazine that comes in the Sunday paper. I tried this, and we loved it. I cut the recipe in half, and it still made 8 enchiladas. And also, I used just simple salsa in place of the salsa verde that was called for.I had made a rotisserie chicken on Saturday, and had the two thighs leftover. It made plenty of chicken for the following recipe.I also used dried cilantro and guessed at the amount.I used low carb tortillas also.I chopped the onion fine and added it with the chicken.Serves 4, with two enchiladas each.

SASSY CHICKEN WRAPS W/CILANTRO PESTO
My biggest challenge with these wraps is not eating all the cilantro pesto with chips before I can get them rolled up. Perhaps you will be more disciplined. If not, make a double batch of the pesto so you can snack without consequences. These a great healthy lunch, and are also pretty cut into slices and served as an appetizer.

Steps:
- Place the sun-dried tomatoes in a bowl and pour boiling water over them to cover.
- Set them aside to steep.
- Make the cilantro pesto: place cilantro leaves, pine nuts, Cojita cheese, cumin, garlic, lime juice,& salt into a food processor, and pulse until mixture is a paste-like consistency.
- Scrape down the sides of the processor bowl, and with the processor on, add the olive oil in a continuous stream.
- After 1/4 c., check the consistency of the pesto. If it is spreadable, but not watery, stop. If it is still too chunky to spread, add a little more oil. But you do not want a runny consistency.

- For the Sassy Tomato Vinagrette: Drain the tomatoes and dice (or cut into small pieces with kitchen shears).
- Peel the garlic clove, and using the back of a knife, crush it with the salt until the mixture makes a paste.
- Put tomatoes, garlic paste, tomato sauce, cayenne pepper, vinegar& brown sugar into the food processor and whirl until well-combined.
- Drizzle in the olive oil while the food processor is running.
- Set aside.
- Core and seed the red pepper, and slice it and the zucchini into strips.
- To make the wraps: Spread a layer of cilantro pesto (about 1 1/2 tablespoons per wrap) onto the each tortilla-- stopping about 1/2-inch from the edge.
- Next, put down a slice of the chicken, and spread the top of the chicken with the Sassy Tomato Vinagrette.
- Add a layer of zucchini & pepper slices.
- Roll up into wraps.
